[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sold my car for about $3k, and bought a one way ticket to the US. Bought remainder of the cash and a large suitcase. (This was 25 years ago, now have $3m net worth).

Bought a foreclosure in Shaw in 2003 when no one wanted to live there and I heard gun shots regularly. Sold that house for $1.2m.[/quote]
I wanted to do all that, but I was still illegal in 2003. I kept asking Americans why they were not doing it. Most were just too high and drunk to even think. The townhouses in Colombia Heights were at give-away prices and people knew metro was being built. Nobody cares, or I ran in circles where nobody cared.
Ex should have sold his dump townhouse in 2006/7 for a million. It was upraised for a lot more at some point. He could've rented a nice place and dumped the money into market from 2009-2010. He would have a lot of money.
He got a 2nd chance this time around, but again, nothing. Still lives in that cold dump and pays high taxes and utilities. He says he doesn;t care about capitalism and money. [/quote]
